Model history

The MG B was introduced in 1962 as the successor to the MGA and quickly became one of the most famous British sports cars. The model was produced until 1980 and was originally designed as an open two-seater with a four-cylinder engine. The MGB GT followed in 1965 as a coupé version with a 2+2 seating arrangement, while the more powerful MGC with a six-cylinder engine was launched in 1967. In total, over 500,000 units of the MG B and its variants were sold. After a break in production, the model was revived in 1992 as the MG RV8 with a modernized design and a limited production run of 2,000 units, before the MG F was finally introduced as its official successor in 1995.

    Technik: Der MGB war ein Sportwagen, den die MG-Division von BMC im Mai 1962 als Nachfolger des MGA herausbrachte. Die Nachfolger von BMC stellten den Wagen bis Dezember 1980 her. Bei seinem Erscheinen galt der MGB als relativ modern. Er besaß eine selbsttragende Karosserie, die Fahrzeuggewicht und Fertigungsaufwand senkte und dem Wagen größere Stabilität verlieh. Das war gegenüber den Vorgängern MGA und MG T-Type eine wesentliche Verbesserung, ein Wettbewerbsvorteil, den der MGB auch gegenüber seinem Wettbewerber Triumph TR hatte. Zur neuen Konstruktion gehörten auch Kurbelscheiben und ein größerer Innenraum mit ausreichend Fußraum und einer Hutablage hinter den Sitzen. LG Tom
